Magnesium Citrate
While calcium gets most of the attention, magnesium is just as much of a major essential mineral and may be a much more important supplement consideration for many. Over 50% of the body’s magnesium is contained in the bones. Magnesium is found inside cells throughout the body with only a minimal amount found free (unbound) in the blood stream. Magnesium is absolutely critical to cellular function and plays a key role in:
- Blood clotting
- Brain chemistry
- Muscle contraction
- Energy metabolism
- Immune function
- Insulin sensitivity and the body’s use of glucose
- Respiratory function
- Regulating blood pressure
- Synthesis of many body compounds
